Until we get off their soil and leave those people be, this will continue. We need to worry about our own borders and our own country. The more we push the more they push.

Yeah, and if we'd stop allowing abortion on demand there wouldn't be any more abortion doctors gunned down!!!

As sad as this is, far more US troops have taken their OWN lives on US soil than have been taken from them by others of any ilk.

We need to get our troops the hell out of these countries instead of stretching them to breaking point. Whether they break in Iraq and kill a bunch of women and kids or break here and kill themselves, they are broken, and it is the fault of our government.

I say this as a sister who just said goodbye to my brother last week (Afghanistan) - I am far more worried about the threat he'll pose to himself upon returning than the threat others might pose to him.

No need to use this incident to villify Muslims.

I like your style - it would be nice if pro lifer's like me weren't vilified by Dr. Tiller's murder.

I do think this story needs to be bigger though -hardly anyone has heard of it.

"Mr. Muhammad stated that he was mad at the U.S. military because of what they had done to Muslims in the past," an arrest report filed by the Little Rock police said. "Mr. Muhammad further stated that he would have killed more soldiers if they had been on the parking lot."

In an interview with KATV in Little Rock, Private Long's father, Daris Long, said his son had graduated from basic training at Fort Benning, Ga., just a week ago. "They weren't on the battlefield, but apparently the battlefield's here," he said.

Mr. Muhammad was heavily armed when he was arrested Monday shortly after fleeing the shooting scene in his black Ford truck. The police confiscated an SKS military-style rifle and a .22-caliber rifle found inside the truck, they said, as well as a .380-caliber semiautomatic handgun he had tucked in his waistband.

Mr. Muhammad was wearing a green utility belt holding more than 150 rounds of ammunition for the two rifles, and an additional 24 rounds for the handgun were in his pants pocket, according to a police inventory.

NO white washing going to come, from this girl. This is a tragedy for our country, our military and American citizens. MY heart goes out to the family and friends who have suffered the loss of their loved one. My head goes our to a country that needs to be aware and awaken to the events that are going on in America, that are not acknowledged by a large portion of the news media.

My heart breaks for these families - of both victims AND the shooter - but as horrible as this is, it is not justification for continuing the GWOT. I'd personally prefer my brother - and other sisters' brothers - be home.

Yes, we should surrender straight away.

You are not the only one with skin in this game.

I find it disturbing that Obama made a formal statement about Tiller that addressed the surrounding issue and implied accusation, but failed to address the terroristic element that resulted in the death of a soldier on US SOIL.

I didn't say we should surrender. There are other ways of 'fighting' that don't involve violence. Like, forgiveness, perhaps? Call me a pacifist nutjob, but I think forgiveness works way better than shooting back.
I know I am not the only one with something to lose here....hence why I want other sisters' brothers home too.
